What's FAC like these days?
[edit]Coming out of seven years of "retirement", I've got a couple things in the pipeline for a potential FAC – right now, The Great Mecca Feast and The True Record. What's FAC like these days? Based on the two reviews I've done so far, it doesn't look like it has changed, but standards can change a lot in a decade. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:03, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Chris, I don't think there's been any major changes in that time - although it's difficult to judge if there have been a lot of incremental changes that all add up to anything major. Maybe it's fair to say that it's much as it was, but just "more so": a slight ratcheting up of standards here and there across the board without anything fundamental to affect things. Best thing to do is to pick the stronger of the two and pitch it in to see how it goes. I'd be happy to do a pre-FAC PR if you're up for it, and I'm sure I can rope in Tim to assist too, if that sounds okay? Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 18:42, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah. I'm not in a rush - I just pushed them to GAR, and I'm seeing that some articles are waiting there for six, seven months. I know that DYK has been cracking down on quality issues, and it appears that POTD has put more emphasis on article quality than it did before. I'm still a decent writer, even with my new job having nothing to do with writing (government clerk :/)... it's just the access to sources that has changed massively in the past few years. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 18:45, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- SchroCat is quite right: I'll be more than pleased to offer preliminary reviewing if wanted. So glad to see you back here. Tim riley talk 19:42, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Glad to be back, honestly. It was unfulfilling not writing or doing anything, and it's been long enough that the people I was having issues with are mostly gone. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:57, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
ITN recognition for Peter Jay (diplomat)
[edit]On 24 September 2024, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Peter Jay (diplomat), which you nominated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Stephen 23:00, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
